Sorren ran into the guild. it all made sense to him now. the kidnapping. lance was taking in by Shaman, and he planned revenge. that meant the kidnapping wasn't just random, he would ask for a ransom. most likely to Shamans friends. he was trying to out think the master. still, he could be anywhere. all Sorren could do was wait for the ransom. he sat by the door of the guild waiting.

There were two knocks on the door Shaman walked over and opened it to find only a note left on the ground. He picked it up and scanned it over. He kept his vision on the drawing of a cowering worm the longest. What the Hell is he doing to her Shaman shook his head. Doesn't matter she won't have to worry about it anymore after we save her.Shaman crumpled it into a ball and basketball style shot it into the waste bin. It circled twice on the waste basket's rim then fell in. Shaman looked out the window it was late the sun was setting. he bit his lip surpressing his emotions so Micheal couldn't feel them." We should start to head out." Shaman called in a what he would have said was shakey voice but to any normal pokemon it would have sounded confident.Shaman started to walk out of the guild to what seemed like forever to walk all the way to the door it was only seconds. Shaman's eyes flashed a red and he saw something off to the side of his vision he couldn't place but he had seen something not part of the guild. His lip drew blood. He was worring far too much he was making himself bleed. Lance did a great job on breaking your confidence. Shaman heard his voice of doubt in his mind. Man your a wimp where are you going to save her. Awwwww look at brave little Shaman off to save his girl friend. Shaman almost spoke aloud. Shut up! I am saving her The voice snickered at him. You just keep telling yourself that. Then it seemed to shut up he knew it was his own doubt he surpressed in himself all the emotions he refused to show taking shape in his mind and forcing him to acknowlege that he doubted himself but Shaman did and he kept moving almost unaware of his group.

Shaman didn't say thank u or say anything no he wasn't like that the only slightest difference in how he walked and how he held his shoulders higher were the only signs that he had effected shaman but there was a whole unspoken paragraph in that in itself. He pushed open the door and looked to the sky it was dark the moon rising if he moved now he would be in time.

I'm going to be a dead give away, they'll be able to see my tail. I need to cover it up. Michael though to himself. As he walked he dimmed down his tail a bit, but it didn't do much. "They won't get away with what they've done; not this time" Michael mumbled as he walk by his partners side.
